Oh, what can I do To ease all the suffering In this lonely world? I am just too small A wee splinter in the log Only adding pain. Oh, what can I give To such a gigantic world I have so little. Just a few dollars And not many possessions To my tiny name. I can offer me However I may assist Yet, I'm no great thing. My spirit is strong But my flesh so very weak It frustrates the soul. At odds from the start Always at war with myself Will I ever win? Oh, what can I do To ease all the suffering In this lonely world? I am just too small A wee splinter in the log Only adding pain. Love, Bonnie "I want to Live! Life is a banquet and most poor bastards are starving to death!" -Auntie Mame [This message has been edited by Morcastlin (05-21-2002 08:13 AM).] |

Sorry folks, I realized an error in my typing. Here's the correct version: Splintered Oh, what can I do To ease all the suffering In this lonely world? I am just too small A wee splinter in the log Only adding pain. Oh, what can I give To such a gigantic world I have so little. Just a few dollars And not many possessions To my tiny name. I can offer me However I may assist Yet, I'm no great thing. My spirit is strong But my flesh so very weak It frustrates the soul. At odds from the start Always at war with myself Will I ever win? Oh, what can I do To ease all the suffering In this lonely world? I am just too small A wee splinter in the log Only adding pain. Love, |
